Daily Planner: Planelle

I enjoy this app. Only reason I haven’t made this my main one that I use is because there’s only a few colors to choose from, and I like coloring coding my planners. If/when the developer adds more colors it will be my absolute favorite!

I love task-managing apps—I use two that I consider top-notch. But whenever something new catches my attention, I have to try it. That’s the case with Planelle… It looks great! Planelle is perhaps the simplest task-managing app I’ve tried. That’s not a negative; to the contrary, it’s a plus. Scheduling tasks is fast, easy, and a joy to do. However, it appears that most new task-managing apps popping up on the App Store lack a very critical feature: badge alerts for today’s and overdue tasks. Sadly, Planelle joins this trend. In my opinion, every task/to-do managing app should have this feature as basic functionality. Also, I would like to see a hint that you have future tasks scheduled in the calendar. This could be in the form of dots with whatever color you choose for your tasks on the day you schedule them for. Lastly, Panelle is young, and I’m sure it will get better with time. My only hope is that it keeps simplicity at its core.

I love how simple this app is. No clutter, no distractions — just a clean space to write down my tasks and get things done. Exactly what I needed to stay organized.
